Review:
"Not since Virgil Thomson have we had a music critic with as wide ranging a view as Edward Said. He informs us not only of a performer's veracity, but of the social climate that flavors it." -- "Studs Terkel" "Not since Virgil Thomson have we had a music critic with as wide ranging a view as Edward Said.
